Academy of Architecture>Research

The research groups at the Academy of Architecture conduct applied research in the field of spatial design. They contribute to the AHK's research profile (engagement through critical creative practice) by researching technical, material, social and political sustainability in the fields of architecture, urbanism and landscape architecture. Research themes include climate change, circularity, biodiversity, justice, public space and social engagement. Until 2021, the academy had different research groups for each of the three disciplines, but is working towards a single research group from 2026 onwards, based on the conviction that today's complex issues require an interdisciplinary approach.
